Midweek Meanderings: Pho Hut opening and some other silliness

Just a couple of quick and rather silly things for hump day.

Pho Hut and Grill Opening:

Actually, when I first saw the sign, I thought it said Pho' What…which might be a great name for some of the pho shops I've eaten at. But no, it's Pho Hut……

This is in the former Quizno's location near the corner of Balboa and Genesee.

Kind of neat in a way as it seems these businesses are now moving further away from Convoy.

I'm still not sold on the name….say "Pho Hut" five times real fast….what does it sound like????

"Luke, I am your mother…."

"You know, I always really wanted to be a welder…."

I'm sure you can come up with something funnier. I actually turned around and saw this woman….which startled me. What ever happened to good old sunglasses….tho' I guess she might have wanted protection from the sun. and sunscreen just didn't do it for her? After the inital shock, I just coudn't stop laughing….she actually did her shopping in 99 Ranch Market with the darn thing covering her face….indoors!

From the "why bother" files:

For some reason I find this amusing……

I mean, if you wanted a wheat flavored chip, why not make them out of wheat? Why would you make rice chips taste like wheat? Is it some kind of gluten thing? I dunno….it just seems a bit absurd to me.

I hope you're having a great week!

  1. LOL, REALLY!!! Awww she didn’t have arm gloves on. Sun damage is very bad though. Can’t blame her that she wants to keep her pearly white skin blemish free, but not her legs. Rice ships, cardboard flavor…

  2. “H1N1 flu shield” Awesome photo! Could be handy to shield her from all the sickos out there that might cough on her…

  3. I’ve seen some pretty large visors but never one that was covering the face lke that! Maybe she kept it on inside the market because of exposure to the fluorescent lights? Speaking of businesses away from Convoy Street, I read on Eater SD that 85 C is supposed to be opening a branch at the new strip mall on Balboa & Genessee. This could be bad news for my waistline …

  4. How did you manage to take a picture of that lady? LOL Mr. C took a few funny ones in Hong Kong. You guys are so mean. lol.

  5. I’m pretty excited about the pho place, it will be my closest restaurant, that and the new bakery coming up in the balboa Mesa complex, things are looking up 🙂

  6. Hi Jenny – I’m hoping it’s better than most of the other Pho places in the area. And that mall is going to be crazy when 85C opens.
